Bonus Credit - Fresh Beans

45 minutes

Hope you like in-depth discussion about film and television! If more than half an hour of talk on series ranging from Scream to The Sopranos to Lovecraft Country with Mathew Kumar and Ash Parrish doesn’t intrigue you, perhaps Frank’s photos of the mythical Phantom console will?

(Ep. 204) Extended break. Brandon shares a little of his current free-to-play games with Special Guests Mathew Kumar and Ash Parrish. Ash shares her first shitpost on The Verge. Jaffe reveals the arcana of the Herbie the Love Bug canon.
